Controller's comments
What a nice day for the SE Sprints, thanks to the Guildford team for putting on a great event.
I think James did a good job in planning two sets of courses that gave interest and contrast, concentration required right to the end. It was also nice to have the luxury of two new areas for the different races and yet still be able to create a single assembly that made it feel like one event. Thanks must also go to Tom for the maps, sprint race mapping is a difficult art and it was a pleasure to be involved in that process.

Organiser's comments
Thanks to everybody but especially James for the creative (but nonetheless time-consuming) planning work and Ian for his constructive and helpful controlling. And as he says Tom Edelsten's mapping was a significant enabler for a good event. The GO team as ever turned out and made the event great!
Congratulations all you Champions too!
